2019 ACFW Pre-Conference Mix and Mingle

Name: Kelly D. Scott

Location: Near Dallas, TX

What you write/tagline/trademark: I write contemporary romance. I thought about having my tagline be: Sizzling, Sweet Romance but not sure if that sounds like too much. LOL

Place in the book world: Still looking! Although I did win first place in the Sweet Romance category of a writing contest. My first manuscript (not the one that won an award) is currently collecting dust bunnies under my bed. Don’t feel sorry for it though. It belongs there. But my characters from that book do come out and chat with me every so often to tell me they want a rewrite.

On a scale of hugger to 10-foot-pole, please rate your personal space: Not a hugger but if you initiate a hug, I’ll return it.

Something VERY serious: How do you take your Starbucks? I’m super boring. I’m happy drinking just plain drip coffee or a latte. Although I do add cinnamon to whatever I choose.

The unique talking points that will get you going for hours: Oh, geez. If you were to eavesdrop on me and my husband you would find us talking about Christianity (apologetics, false teachers, sharing the gospel (sorry this isn’t capitalized I have keyboard issues!). I’m happy to chat about books, rom com movies, foster care, and baking.

Loved ones at home you’ll be missing: My husband and two boys. And I guess our cat. I’m not a cat person but…people change.

Conference goals we can pray for? No anxiety! That should cover everything! I feel like I have so many people I want to chat with and see, too.

Anything we can celebrate with you? Just getting to go to conference is a major success! I became a proofreader this year with LPC books and that has helped to supplement the cost.

One or two ways we can help you build your platform? Find me on Instagram @kellyscottwrites or on Facebook at @kellydscott

It’s Cover Reveal Day for The Second Chance Trai It’s Cover Reveal Day for The Second Chance Trailer Park by Katie Powner! This funny, feel-good story releases July 21. About the book:

Fifty-two-year-old Meredith McGillicutty is not having a midlife crisis. She’s just ready for a change of pace, that’s all. The fact that she lied to get into a retirement community has nothing to do with being passed over for a promotion at work nor her recent breakup with the only man she’s ever loved.

Nothing.

Meredith only wants some peace and quiet. To sit on a porch in elastic-waist pants and mingle with other mature individuals who value a life of serenity. But the residents of the Peaceful Pines retirement community have other plans for her. These quirky and endearing neighbors seem to know her better than she knows herself, and they decide Meredith’s life is only just beginning. #coverreveal #katiepowner #fictionbook
